Publishing a new blog post, guide, or long-form article.

Blog post promotion templates that give the idea before the link

Use these when you publish an article and want readers beyond your subscribers. The common mistake is posting only the headline and a link. These templates put the core idea in the post, so the post is useful on its own and the link is for people who want the detail, data, or examples.

[Counterintuitive or specific claim from the article].

Why: [one-sentence reason].

2/ [Point 1 in one or two sentences.]

3/ [Point 2 in one or two sentences.]

4/ [Point 3.] The full post has [examples / data / code]: [link]

LinkedIn — native summary

Bluesky — question hook

How do you [task related to article topic]?

Tips

  • Share the main conclusion in the post. People are more likely to click when they already agree the idea is worth reading about.
  • Share each article more than once, weeks apart, with a different angle each time: a statistic, a quote, a question.
  • Add UTM parameters to the link so you can see which network and which variant brought readers.
  • On LinkedIn, test putting the link in the first comment against the body; results vary by account.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I reshare a blog post?
For evergreen articles, sharing three to five times over a few months with different hooks is common. Time-sensitive posts usually get one or two shares close to publication.
Should the social post repeat the blog headline?
Not word for word. Pick one specific idea or number from the article; the headline is written for search, while the post is written for a scrolling reader.
